Mumbai, Apr 19 (PTI) Police are in the process of registering a case after Congress workers, who were protesting outside the Enforcement Directorate office in south Mumbai, climbed the gate of the premises on Saturday, an official said.

A group of Youth Congress workers were demonstrating outside the ED office in the Ballard Estate area, accusing the BJP-led Centre of weaponising the anti-money laundering agency against their senior leaders, particularly after the latest development in the National Herald case.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and others on charges of money laundering in the National Herald case.

According to the official, 15-20 protesters gathered outside the office, located at Kaiser I Hind building, around 3 pm. Some of them then climbed the gate of the ED office, he said.

The office was locked as it was a holiday, and the security guard further secured the gate by locking it with the help of a chain, he said.

A video of the protest showed the Congress workers trying to put a lock on the gate from outside.

An offence is being registered in Mata Ramabai Ambedkar (MRA) Marg police station, and further action is being taken, the official added. PTI DC NR
